Just like that, Xu Ziying settled down in this small courtyard. Originally, Shen Anhuai wanted to vacate the main house for him to live in, but Xu Ziying didn't let him. He simply tidied up the only small warm pavilion next to him and moved in. .

Every day when Shen Anhuai goes out, he cooks, cleans up, clears up the weeds in the yard, and tidies up the yard properly.

Although he didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that he couldn't live for nothing, and he would do whatever Shen Anhuai couldn't care about.

Even if Shen Anhuai's clothes were torn, he would mend them. He and Xu Yu had learned how to make clothes, so it was easy to mend clothes, and he mended them very well, which made Shen Anhuai flattered.

But Xu Ziying kept his face on all day without raising his eyebrows, and it was difficult to communicate a few words, so Shen Anhuai simply asked Xu Ziying to be quiet and not disturb him.

The climate in Nanling is warm and the four seasons are like spring. Xu Ziying's living in the warm pavilion is not cold at all. If it is in Xuanle City, it will be late autumn at this time. Xu Ziying always thinks about these things, and also thinks about the people and things there. But there is always a chill.

After half a month without incident, there was a downpour of rain at night, and it was dawn after the rain stopped. Shen Anhuai told him something important.

It is said that Emperor Xuan was poisoned by the second prince, and he could not recover from his illness. It is estimated that he will not last long, and all the palace will be washed again. It is the handwriting of the Sixth Prince Shen Lianting.

It has been several days since the news reached Nanling, and no one knows what the situation is now.

Xu Ziying didn't respond after hearing this, and only asked Shen Anhuai if this matter would endanger Prince An's Mansion.

Shen Anhuai shook his head and said no, "Although grandma didn't tell me clearly, I know that the mansion has always had a lot of personal relationships with the Ronghou mansion, and Rong Fei is tired of hearing that he belongs to the Sixth Highness's party, so..."

Speaking of this, Shen Anhuai consciously made a slip of the tongue and hurriedly shut up, while Xu Ziying's expression remained normal, leaving a sentence of "None of my business" and left.

It rained heavily last night, and the roof was leaking. Before Shen Anhuai left, Xu Ziying asked him where there were extra tiles, and he planned to mend the leaking place.

He found enough gray tiles in the firewood house, and found a ladder to climb up to the roof. The gable roof is not high, and he can still see far away when standing on it.

The neighborhood is full of residential houses. The houses are lined up in row upon row. There are many small rivers and small bridges sandwiched between them. The warm wind blows Xu Ziying's hair from his temples. Since he came to Nanling, this is the first time he has seen the place clearly. look.

He was sitting on the roof adding tiles, and the passing children all looked up curiously, and a female doll pointed to him and asked his companion.

"Who is this beautiful brother? Why is he at Brother Shen's house?"

The older boy next to him said: "You don't know that, grandma said that this is the man married by Brother Shen, and Brother Shen also said that he is very virtuous."

Xu Ziying asked Shen Anhuai about this that night, and Shen Anhuai knew that he had revealed his secrets, so he clasped his hands together and kept explaining.

"Ying'er, when a few people broke in that day, all the neighbors here saw you, I always have to give them a reasonable explanation, and besides..."

Shen Anhuai smiled embarrassingly, "Grandmas around always want to say goodbye for me, and you know me too... I am annoyed by being asked, so just tell them that you are my husband and wife, and save a lot of trouble .”

Xu Ziying was not angry, but just said that he knew it. Seeing his reaction, Shen Anhuai was slightly stunned for a moment, and mustered up the courage to grab his wrist, wanting to hug him.

With an excited tone, "Ying'er! How about, why don't you live with me, I will definitely treat you well!"

Xu Ziying pushed Shen Anhuai away without much effort, and Shen Anhuai fell off his buttocks unexpectedly. Before he could get up with his hands on the ground, Xu Ziying couldn't hear the voice of emotion.

"I'm grateful for getting me here, but, I don't like men."

Xu Ziying's long and beautiful eyes seemed to have condensed into a pool of ice, which was full of worries, without the expression of the past, Shen Anhuai's heart sank heavily, but he was relieved.

He said with difficulty, "Okay, I get it, Ying'er, I was reckless."

In the days that followed, the two of them never mentioned this matter again. Xu Ziying didn't leave the house every day like a friend, and he was almost in time for retirement, but he knew that he couldn't go out. It had been such a long time, and it was hard to hold back Feiyan will not check here.

But the calm days will inevitably make people feel depressed and slack. Xu Ziying spends his days painting or cooking and cleaning the house. He is a restless person, and he really can't sit still.

Shen Anhuai was afraid that he would be exhausted, so before going out this morning, he suggested going out with him.

Xu Ziying said: "Let's forget it, people will see you when you go out."

Shen Anhuai reassured him and said, "We don't go to crowded places, but to the vegetable garden of my grandmother's house."

The grandma that Shen Anhuai was talking about was the old woman who was holding her grandson when Xu Ziying first arrived. Grandma's family was poor and depended on farming. Shen Anhuai knew that it was not easy for her to take care of her grandson, so she bought her family's food and asked her to supplement the family income.

Grandma's house was not far from here, but because it was located in a low-lying area, no one wanted to live near here. Xu Ziying did not see many people along the way.

Following Shen Anhuai to a thatched hut, he saw a large vegetable field, which was well-groomed and green, surrounded by a low fence. Shen Anhuai told him that he helped his grandma to surround it.

Xu Ziying couldn't help but tease, "You really are, you don't look like you used to be the prince at all."

Shen Anhuai scratched his head and said, "When I saw Grandma, I thought of my grandmother. Besides, it wasn't you, Yinger, who made me change?"

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Xu Ziying's mouth faded. Seeing Xu Ziying's reaction, Shen Anhuai also looked away, and both of them tacitly said nothing. At this moment, Grandma came out of the room and waved to them.

After picking the vegetables for the past few days, Grandma moved Xu Ziying a bench for him to sit under the shade of a tree in front of the door, and handed him a cup of herbal tea, saying with a smile.

"Old lady, this is crude tea. If you don't dislike it, please moisten your throat."

Xu Ziying shook her head and said, "How come, I never restrain myself from these things."

Grandma sat down next to him, "It doesn't look like it, you and your husband are both portraits of vice-nobles, they must be children of a rich family."

What Grandma said was right and wrong, Shen Anhuai was indeed born rich and powerful, and his face, just crawling out of the pile of dead people, was really skinny.

But now, his healthy and handsome appearance is reflected in the porcelain bowl. It is said that Ronghou dotes on his wife. This pampering and pampering is naturally very well-raised, but in the end, it is not him who is doting on him, but this shell. .

Shen Anhuai was playing with Grandma's grandson by the low well, and Grandma was chatting with Xu Ziying.

He said that his grandson's parents were killed by profiteers, and because they blocked their way of getting money, they beat the couple to death together with the thugs here who specialize in taking money.

Hearing this, Xu Ziying couldn't help frowning deeply, "Is no one caring?"

Grandma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's useless. Those thugs are taken care of by the government, and the money they get for their work will be distributed to the officials. They are quick and quick. No one has been able to cure them for so many years."

It can only be said to be too rampant. Fortunately, those people usually do not bully men and women. As long as you are not hated by others, no one will trouble you if you are young or poor.

After noon, the weather gradually cleared up, and the little grandson said that he would go to the nearby woods to pick berries for them to eat. Because Shen Anhuai was with him, the grandma readily agreed.

But they waited and waited, and after almost a stick of incense, the two of them still hadn't come back. Grandma only had this little grandson to depend on each other, so it was unavoidable to be impatient, but Xu Ziying didn't think too much about it, and said to ask Grandma to wait here, and he went to look for it. .

"Grandma, where did you pick the berries?"

Grandma pointed her finger straight ahead. "Walking through the path in the forest, just see a fork in the road."

Xu Ziying went in along this path. When he first entered, the woods were sparse, so it was very warm, but as he walked in, the branches and leaves became more luxuriant, covering a large area of ​​sunlight, and the cool air climbed up his calf, which made people feel heartbroken. disturbed.

Few people came to this road. He stepped on the fallen leaves and made a creaking sound. Looking ahead, there was a forked path.

Looking up, there was a wild fruit tree standing there, and when he walked under the tree, he found a mess on the ground, mixed with crushed berries, obviously something happened.
